Johnson & Johnson is recruiting for a Technical Product Owner, GSINC Contracting Solution, based in India. We are searching for top talent to join the Global Simplification and Innovation in Contracting program, GSINC.

Do you seek big, complex, and ambiguous challenges? Are you passionate about transforming enterprise contracting through simplified processes, modern technology, intelligent data, and responsible AI? Do you want to help build a capability that improves how Johnson & Johnson works with its employees, suppliers, customers, healthcare professionals, and research partners?

GSINC is building an integrated, AI-enabled contracting capability designed to make contracting faster, simpler, more consistent, and more valuable to the enterprise! The program brings together process, policy, templates, technology, data, and intelligence to establish a scalable, modern contracting foundation across Johnson & Johnson.

The Technical Product Owner, GSINC Contracting Solution will be responsible for translating the product strategy into an executable technology roadmap and scalable delivery model. This role will be responsible for the product backlog, shape priorities, coordinate dependencies, and establish the Agile and release practices required to support multiple concurrent deployments and continuous product evolution across the enterprise.

This is not simply a backlog-management role. The Technical Product Owner will help define how GSINC technology is built, released, scaled, and continuously improved, working across business, product, engineering, architecture, implementation partners, and platform teams.

Key Responsibilities

Product Ownership and Roadmap

• Own and continuously refine the product roadmap and backlog for the GSINC Contracting Solution, aligned to business priorities and enterprise strategy.
• Translate business capabilities, process requirements, and user needs into clear epics, features, user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical priorities.
• Drive prioritization based on value, user impact, technical dependencies, risk, scalability, and delivery capacity.
• Maintain a clear view of product health, technical debt, platform enhancements, integrations, defects, and innovation opportunities.

Agile Delivery and Product Management

• Lead Agile product practices across backlog refinement, sprint planning, prioritization, release planning, demos, retrospectives, and improvement.
• Balance near-term deployment requirements with the long-term integrity and scalability of the enterprise product.
• Use product metrics, user feedback, adoption data, and operational performance to continually refine priorities.

Concurrent Release and Deployment Model

• Design and operationalize an innovative delivery model that enables multiple GSINC deployments, enhancements, and product releases to progress concurrently.
• Establish release trains, development pathways, environment strategies, dependency management, testing approaches, and governance needed to move from sequential implementation toward continuous, parallel delivery.
• Define how enterprise product capabilities and business-specific deployments can advance simultaneously without creating unnecessary customization, fragmentation, or release conflicts.
• Create repeatable delivery patterns that allow GSINC to increase deployment velocity as adoption expands across business units, functions, and geographies.
• Identify delivery bottlenecks and continually improve the operating model to increase throughput, predictability, quality, and speed.
• Lead solution architects and engineering teams to ensure product decisions align with enterprise architecture, security, data, and technology standards.
• Champion reusable enterprise capabilities and configuration over unnecessary customization.

Performance and Continuous Improvement

• Define and monitor product and delivery measures including adoption, release velocity, cycle time, quality, defects, stability, user experience, and business value.
• Use data to identify bottlenecks, prioritize improvements, and increase delivery throughput.
• Provide concise leadership updates on roadmap progress, releases, risks, dependencies, product health, and outcomes.
• Continuously evolve the GSINC product and delivery model as the program scales globally.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, engineering, business, or a related field.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience in technical product ownership, product management, Agile delivery, enterprise technology, or digital transformation.
• Demonstrated experience serving as a Product Owner or Technical Product Owner for a complex enterprise platform or product.
• Strong experience with Agile product development, backlog management, release planning, dependency management, and cross-functional delivery.
• Experience designing or operating delivery models that support multiple parallel workstreams, release trains, or concurrent deployments.
• Experience translating business requirements into technical capabilities, epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Experience working across engineering, architecture, business, testing, integration, data, and implementation teams.
• Experience with enterprise SaaS platforms, workflow technology, integrations, APIs, data, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Contract Lifecycle Management or enterprise contracting experience preferred.
• Experience with platforms such as Azure DevOps or Jira and modern Agile/product management practices preferred.
• Agile, Product Owner, Scrum, SAFe, or product management certification preferred.

Leadership Capabilities

• Product mindset: Owns outcomes and product health, not simply requirements, ceremonies, or delivery activity.
• Technical fluency: Connects business needs with architecture, engineering, data, integration, and platform capabilities.
• Enterprise thinking: Builds reusable capabilities that scale across businesses and geographies while managing legitimate local requirements.
• Delivery orchestration: Creates the structure, cadence, and discipline required for multiple teams and releases to move concurrently.
• Bias for action: Works through ambiguity, removes obstacles, and moves teams toward decisions and outcomes.
• Strong judgment: Understands when to standardize, when to sequence, when to escalate, and where technical debt or complexity could constrain scale.
• Influence: Builds alignment across business, technology, vendors, and leadership without relying on direct authority.
• Data-driven communication: Uses evidence to prioritize decisions and provides leadership with clear, decision-ready recommendations.
